After looking through some SMART files, I realized that there is no set license for Reflection (or SRL for that matter).
I would be in favour of the GPL, but that is my preference. In fact, since we use SMART, I think we may have to be GPL.
The only other option that jumps out at me is the LGPL. I do not think this is necessary though, since the library is only compatible with Simba. If we GPL'd, we would permanently exclude SCAR, which is not necessarily a bad thing in my opinion. Again, I am biased on this one.
TL;DR: GPL is more open, moves with the open source philosophy of SRL/Simba, LGPL allows for the project to be used with closed source applications.
E: Any other options are welcomed as well, these two just seemed the most obvious and applicable.
